4676 Datasheet/PDFPushbutton Switches
Pushbutton switches are devices used to open, close, or control circuits in a variety of applications. They are typically used to perform an electrical signaling or interrupting task. Pushbutton switches come in a variety of mounting styles, housing types, and switching configuration. Typically, these components are designed with an array of contacts or terminals. The terminals provide different options for wiring the switch into the circuit. The terminals may be arranged in a straight terminal board or in a rotary configuration.
The 4676 pushbutton switch is a general purpose switch designed for a wide range of applications. The design of this switch allows it to be used in a variety of circuits. It has a wide range of contact configurations and contact materials, which provide flexibility for numerous applications. The design of the 4676 also allows for it to be used in a variety of housing materials and mounting styles.
4676 Application Field
The 4676 has a variety of application fields, ranging from industrial to consumer electronics. It is a popular choice for industrial and medical applications, as it has reliable switching performance when operated under varying environmental and electrical conditions. The 4676 is also ideal for applications in power-limited systems, such as those found in automotive and aerospace, as the switch does not require a bulky power supply. In addition, the 4676 is commonly used in process control systems, automation systems, and communication systems. The switch is also suitable for use in robotic applications.
4676 Working Principle
The 4676 pushbutton switch utilizes a snap action mechanism to provide reliable switching performance. The snap action mechanism ensures that the switch is able to open or close a signal reliably and consistently. The switch is designed to operate with very low voltage and current and requires minimal current to operate. When the pushbutton is pressed, the contacts on the switch are diverted, causing the current flow to be disrupted. This disruption then triggers the signal to be sent to a specific location.
The 4676 is commonly used in latching and momentary functions, as both contact forms require very little power to switch. When the button is pressed, the contacts are diverted for a momentary function and the switch can be released to reset the contacts. For the latching function, the contacts are diverted for a permanent duration until the switch is activated again.
Conclusion
The 4676 pushbutton switch is a versatile and reliable switch with a wide range of application fields and mounting options. The snap action mechanism ensures that the switch is able to provide reliable switching performance in a wide variety of electrical conditions. The switch is easy to wire into circuits, and is ideal for applications in industrial and consumer electronics. With a wide range of contact configurations and housing materials, the 4676 provides flexibility in design and installation.
